    Independent Auditors Report

    To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City CouncilCity of San Antonio, Texas

    Report on the Financial Statements

    We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business typeactivities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregateremaining fund information of the City of San Antonio, Texas (the City) as of and for the year endedSeptember 30, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise theCitys basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

    Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements

    Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements inaccordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includesthe design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fairpresentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud orerror.

    Auditors Responsibility

    Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We did notaudit the financial statements of HemisFair Park Area Redevelopment Corporation; San Antonio EconomicDevelopment Corporation; Westside Development Corporation; San Antonio Fire and Police PensionFund; or the San Antonio Fire and Police Retiree Health Care Fund; blended and fiduciary componentunits, which represent 73%, 84%, and 9%, respectively, of the assets and deferred outflows, netposition/fund balances, and revenues/additions of the aggregate remaining fund information. We alsodid not audit CPS Energy; SA Energy Acquisition Public Facility Corporation; San Antonio Housing TrustFinance Corporation; San Antonio Housing Trust Foundation, Inc.; or the San Antonio Housing Trust PublicFacility Corporation, discretely presented component units, which represent 66%, 59%, and 80%,respectively, of the assets and deferred outflows, net position, and revenues of the discretely presentedcomponent units. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have beenfurnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those component units,is based solely on the report of the other auditors. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditingstandards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financialaudits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the UnitedStates. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. The financial statements of

  • Brooks Development Authority, CPS Energy, SA Energy Acquisition Public Facility Corporation, San AntonioHousing Trust Finance Corporation, San Antonio Housing Trust Public Facility Corporation, and SanAntonio Water System District Special Project, audited separately by other auditors, were not auditedin accordance with Government Auditing Standards.

    An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures inthe financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including theassessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud orerror. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Cityspreparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectivenessof the Citys internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluatingthe appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accountingestimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financialstatements.

    We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour audit opinions.

    Opinions

    In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred toabove present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmentalactivities, the business type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each majorfund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of September 30, 2015, and therespective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended,in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

    Emphasis of Matter

    As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, effective October 1, 2014, the City implementedGovernmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68, Accounting and FinancialReporting for Pensions An Amendment of GASB Statement No. 27, and GASB Statement No. 71, PensionTransition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date An Amendment of GASBStatement No. 68. As described in Note 18 to the financial statements, the City restated beginning netposition for the adoption of GASB Statement No. 68 and GASB Statement No. 71. Our opinions are notmodified with respect to these matters.

    As described in Note 18 to the financial statements, the City also restated beginning net position/fundbalance related to changes in component unit reporting. Our opinions are not modified with respect tothis matter.

  • Other Matters

    Required Supplementary Information

    Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the ManagementsDiscussion and Analysis, Budgetary Comparison Schedule General Fund, Budgetary ComparisonSchedule Pre K 4 SA, Schedule of Funding Progress, Schedule of Changes in the Net Pension Liability andRelated Ratios, and Schedule of Contributions, as listed in the table of contents, as well as notes torequired supplementary information, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Suchinformation, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by GASB, who considers itto be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriateoperational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the requiredsupplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United Statesof America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the informationand comparing the information for consistency with managements responses to our inquiries, the basicfinancial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limitedprocedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

    Other Information

    Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectivelycomprise the Citys basic financial statements. The Combining Financial Statements and Schedules,Supplementary Budget and Actual Schedules for Legally Adopted Funds, Capital Assets Used in theOperation of Governmental Funds, Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, as required by the Officeof Management and Budget Circular A 133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non ProfitOrganizations, and Schedule of Expenditures of State Awards as required by the State of Texas SingleAudit Circular, and other information, such as the Introductory Section and the Statistical Section, as listedin the table of contents, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part ofthe basic financial statements.

    The Combining Financial Statements and Schedules, Supplementary Budget and Actual Schedules forLegally Adopted Funds, Capital Assets Used in the Operation of Governmental Funds, Schedule ofExpenditures of Federal Awards, and Schedule of Expenditures of State Awards are the responsibility ofmanagement and were derived from, and relate directly to, the underlying accounting and other recordsused to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditingprocedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures,including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and otherrecords used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves,and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the UnitedStates of America. In our opinion, the Combining Financial Statements and Schedules, SupplementaryBudget and Actual Schedules for Legally Adopted Funds, Capital Assets Used in the Operation ofGovernmental Funds, Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, and Schedule of Expenditures of StateAwards are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

  • The Introductory and Statistical Sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied inthe audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide anyassurance on them.

    Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

    In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 2, 2016on our consideration of the Citys internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of itscompliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and othermatters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financialreporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal controlover financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed inaccordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering Citys internal control over financialreporting and compliance.
